Robinson, located in El Paso, Colorado, is a private irrigation dam on Black Squirrel Creek with a primary purpose of irrigation. Completed in 1958, this Earth dam stands at 30 feet tall and spans 230 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 25 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating of 2, though its condition assessment is currently listed as "Not Rated."
Despite being last inspected in 1988, Robinson remains regulated and permitted by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, with ongoing state inspection and enforcement. The dam lacks a spillway and outlet gates, but its maximum discharge capability is 1262 cubic feet per second. While the risk management measures and emergency action plan details are not provided, the dam's location in Colorado Springs and its association with Black Squirrel Creek make it a noteworthy structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor for any future developments or updates.
